Latest comment: 9 years ago by Bozonbozon in topic Exclusive usage of present participle

Why is there a Polish section in the middle of an English language article about English grammar? And why does the international list of suffixes not contain English?

This article is a mess.

[edit]

Um, what does this mean: 'No Agent noun will ever be if its verb had not being.'? Can someone put that into more idiomatically correct English? 115.131.5.238 (talk) 06:54, 18 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Exclusive usage of present participle

[edit]

In Hungarian, there is no systematic way to form agent nouns, except the nominalization of present participle (examples: dolgozó, szerelő, vezető worker, mechanic, leader/driver, respectively). Should this be mentioned in the list, or is this a more widespread phenomenon which should have a section with a list of such languages? Bozonbozon (talk) 08:40, 28 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
